Yeah, boot was intact. In my usage, the left rear halfshaft gets pretty hammered due to a couple of turns at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, T3 and T10, where you are cornering hard right and on the gas right over big transitions, BAM. I would guess that heat at that CV joint => thinner and more degraded grease which probably doesn't help... I did get 40 track days (maybe 10 of them at NHMS) and 59k miles out of it before it busted...
